A reddit post in r/fednews. Trump Took Away Adobe Acrobat and it took Me 45min to Combine Files Fed only Not that this matters but for anyone who thinks this is creating efficiency, Trump/Elmo took away my agencies Adobe acrobate away which means I can't edit documents. So instead of being efficient and taking 5seconds to combine a pdf, I took 45min along with IT to combine files. That's how I spend my time these days, trying to overcome the obstacles they put in place so I can do my job. For all this talk about government employees not doing work, I'm working double time just to keep up with what they are doing.
